    Abstract Nearly 20 years since the first branched ubiquitin (Ub) chains were identified by mass spectrometry, our understanding of these chains and their function is still evolving. This is due to the limitations of classical Ub research techniques in identifying these chains and the vast complexity of potential branched chains. Considering only lysine or N-terminal methionine attachment sites, there are already 28 different possible branch points. Taking into account recently discovered ester-linked ubiquitination, branch points of more than two linkage types, and the higher-order chain structures within which branch points exist, the diversity of branched chains is nearly infinite. This review breaks down the complexity of these chains into their general functions, what we know so far about the different linkage combinations, branched chain-optimized methodologies, and the future perspectives of branched chain research.

    Abstract Maintaining proteome integrity is essential for long-term viability of all organisms and is overseen by intrinsic quality control mechanisms. The secretory pathway of eukaryotes poses a challenge for such quality assurance as proteins destined for secretion enter the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and become spatially segregated from the cytosolic machinery responsible for disposal of aberrant (misfolded or otherwise damaged) or superfluous polypeptides. The elegant solution provided by evolution is ER-membrane-bound ubiquitylation machinery that recognizes misfolded or surplus proteins or by-products of protein biosynthesis in the ER and delivers them to 26S proteasomes for degradation. ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) collectively describes this specialized arm of protein quality control via the ubiquitin-proteasome system. But, instead of providing a single strategy to remove defective or unwanted proteins, ERAD represents a collection of independent processes that exhibit distinct yet overlapping selectivity for a wide range of substrates. Not surprisingly, ER-membrane-embedded ubiquitin ligases (ER-E3s) act as central hubs for each of these separate ERAD disposal routes. In these processes, ER-E3s cooperate with a plethora of specialized factors, coordinating recognition, transport and ubiquitylation of undesirable secretory, membrane and cytoplasmic proteins. In this Review, we focus on substrate processing during ERAD, highlighting common threads as well as differences between the many routes via ERAD.

    Abstract The traditional textbook describes ubiquitylation as the conjugation of ubiquitin to a target by forming a covalent bond connecting ubiquitin's carboxy-terminal glycine residue with an acceptor amino acid like lysine or amino-terminal methionine in the substrate protein. While this adequately depicts a significant fraction of cellular ubiquitylation processes, a growing number of ubiquitin modifications do not follow this rule. Recent data demonstrate that ubiquitin can also be efficiently attached to other amino acids, such as cysteine, serine, and threonine, via ester bonding. Initially observed for a virus-encoded ubiquitin ligase, which targets a cysteine residue in a host protein to initiate its degradation, ester-linked ubiquitylation is now shown to also drive regular cellular processes. These ubiquitylation events expand the complexity and diversity of ubiquitin signaling and broaden the capability of cellular messages in the so-called ubiquitin code. Still, questions on the prevalence, relevance, and involvement in physiological and cellular functions await clearing. In this review, we aim to summarize our knowledge on ester-linked ubiquitylation and introduce experimental strategies to circumvent technical issues that complicate analysis of this uncommon posttranslational modification.

    Abstract Hordenine, a natural constituent of germinated barley, is a biased agonist of the dopamine D2 receptor. This pilot study investigated the biokinetics of hordenine and its metabolites in four volunteers consuming beer equal to 0.075 mg hordenine/kg body weight. A new ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography method coupled to electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method determined maximum plasma concentrations of 12.0-17.3 nM free hordenine after 0-60 min. Hordenine phase-II metabolism was first dominated by sulfation, but later by glucuronidation. The elimination half-lives in plasma were 52.7-66.4 min for free hordenine and about 60/80 min longer for hordenine sulfate and hordenine glucuronide. Urinary excretion peaked 2-3.5 h after consumption and accumulated to 3.78 μmol within 24 h, corresponding to 9.9% of the ingested dose. The observed hordenine levels in plasma seem too low to provoke direct interaction with the dopamine D2 receptor related to food reward, but synergistic or additive effects with alcohol or
